Overview
|
|
- This part of psychiatry actively participates in all four years of medical student education. In year one, our contribution is made thorough essentials of clinical medicine (E.C.M.) where significant members of our staff participate as small group preceptors. In addition, psychiatry has primary responsibility for teaching the major block of the second semester, the life cycle, which deals with human development across the life span.
In year two, psychiatry provides over a third of the lecture and small group experience of the neuroscience block. In addition to giving lectures on all major psychiatric disorders, there are three small group sessions, each consisting of approximately nine medical students and a psychiatrist, the focus being the discussion of a case which focuses on either psychosis, mood disorder, or anxiety.
In the third year, psychiatry is represented by a six-week basic clerkship, which can occur at any of the following sites: Downstate Medical Center, Kings County Hospital, Maimonides Medical Center, Brookdale Medical Center, Long Island Jewish Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, and Kingsboro Medical Center. The majority of clerkships are centered on an inpatient experience, with two sites, Kings County and Lenox Hill, providing a consultation-liaison experience. Once a week, on Thursday afternoons, students from all clerkship sites come together at the medical school for a seminar series on major topics in psychiatry.
In the fourth year, twenty electives are offered by the department. A complete listing of which is available in the course selection book.
